Sudapod, episode 977, The Fruits of, by Chelsea Davis, narrated by Danny Daly, hosted by Kat Day, with audio by Chelsea Davis.

Hey everyone, hope you're all doing okay. I'm Kat, deputy editor at Sudapod, your host for this week,

and I'm excited to tell you that for this week we have The Fruits of, by our very own Chelsea Davis.

This story originally appeared in the online spring 2024 edition of Club Chick-Silloop.

Chelsea Davis is a writer and critic from San Francisco.

Her fiction, essays and poetry have appeared in Visterian, Reactor, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the Los Angeles Review of Books,

among other publications. She is the audio producer for Sudapod. You can read and listen to more

of her work on her website, Chelseamdavis.net.

Danny Daly says she's a jack of many trades master of none.

I don't believe her because she's a damn fine narrator.

But anyway, she loves the rogue life, so it's all okay with her.

You can hear stories she's narrated on the first four escape artists podcasts,

Starship, Sofa, Glittership and Asimov science fiction.

Visit her on blue sky, under her alias, Danuli.

Now, before we go any further, this story deals with some difficult themes,

including death of a family member and suicide.

If that's going to be difficult for you, come back next week. We'll be back.

But now, we have a story for you, and we promise you, it's true.
